OMG Thank you all so much

Thats what my hubby has said

It seems my mum wants to make trouble by accepting the lift from my sisters before my uncle even died! I was very shocked when I found this out but my son said that was to make themselves look good in front of the other members of the family who dont realise my sisters dont help me with my mum.

My doctor has offered to ring my sisters and ask if they can help me with my mums care as my hubby has a major heart condition which sadly got worse in december but I know my doctor will get a bad reaction so I said not to bother I will plod on!!!

So open heart sergury is on the list and i work full time and have a child at uni to support ..

I feel so much better that I will be stronger taking the only really my uncle was close to, to his funeral
Thank you all :-D

How very sad to fall out and cause unpleasantness at such a difficult time. Just carry on with what you have planned, hopefully it will all work out.

I'm sure your uncle would have wanted this rellie at his funeral if they were the only person he really got on with. As Florence says - just carry on as you have arranged and if necessary sit in a different place.

Anyone is entitled to go to any funeral - it's not like a wedding where you are invited.

If anyone makes a fuss on the day don't get drawn into it.

Surely when you arrive at the church, you can meet your mum and all sit together? I would just go ahead with the arrangements you have made. it wouldnt be fair to change them after you told your rellie.

That's the sad thing about funerals. people always seem keen to fall out and upset others..never fails. Ive had my fair share in the past and worst it yet to come.

My middle brother fell out with my dad and they havent spoken in 10 years. My dad has never seen the 2 youngest granchildren and has said that when dad goes he has refused to go and help me with the funeral!

I hope it sorts itself out for you, but personally i would stick to what you arranged with the rellie!

Short version: uncle died funeral coming up. My mum is going with my sister I said I would pick up another family member and take them to funeral my mum has gone totally mad!!!
The family member doesnt drive and is poorly but can travel.
I do everything for my mum coz my sister will only see my mum by appointment so much so mum moved back to my town to save me the travel to her town where my sisters lives! I dont get on with my sisters

Do I go to funeral or not?
Why is my mum getting so mad about me getting the other rellie? The rellie is the only person my uncle really got on with!!!

I,m stuck
